The Forbes Hip-Hop Cash Kings List each year takes a look at the elite group of artists that earn the distinguish of being the highest earners in the genre. This year, the winner that came out on top was Dr. Dre, who easily beat second place finisher Jay Z by a whopping $560 million!

Those Beats headphones must be selling pretty well! Dr. Dre along with music producer and regular mentor on American Idol, Jimmy Iovine, have donated $70 million to USC. The money will go towards the creation of the "Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for Arts and Technology".
